WARRANTY POLICY

FIRST AND FOREMOST, DUE TO THE RAMPANT ABUSE OF OUR RETURN POLICY BY SOME CUSTOMERS WE ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING ANY RETURNS ON ELECTRONIC OR ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS OR SOFTWARE & DATA BASED ITEMS THAT CAN BE COPIED.  PERIOD!  IT IS STANDARD PRACTICE IN MOST AUTOMOTIVE PARTS STORES TO NOT ACCEPT RETURNS ON ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.  This rule overrides all policy that follows.  We are SINCERELY sorry we can no longer supply you our VALUED customers with this convenience, but after 8 years of selling the SpeedChanger line we have had NO items returned because the product was bad or not operable.  We have had VERY FEW units returned because they were simply not compatible with the customer’s automobile and we have pretty much defined those cases.  (Contact Us with your exact application to be sure.)  In the same 8 years we have had a significant quantity of items returned electrically functional but physically damaged by customers beyond use.  We have absorbed the entire cost of these items to date.  The Profit margins on these items are extremely small and we can no longer afford to do this.  We now enjoy a wonderful reputation in this field as absolutely the state of the art.  We are comfortable that our 200% testing (we test each unit twice before it is shipped) has stemmed any possibility of sending you a bad unit.

 

Having said this… FORD Performance Passenger vehicles (not truck as we understand the issue) made since 2005 with the new 3-connector engine processor AND throttle by wire AND Automatic Transmissions ONLY, have transmission slip calculations built into the Engine Computer.  This Transmission Slip Calculation will log an error and force the transmission to shift improperly.  NO speedometer calibration is POSSIBLE on this type of vehicle by ANY manufacturer.  Do NOT purchase one of our items to calibrate this type of system.  No Refunds will be offered.

Vehicles that use all 4 ABS Wheel Speed Sensors as an input to the ABS module AND the ABS Module outputs a COMPUTER CODED SIGNAL for speed (not a pulse rate vs. speed signal… that is ok) to the rest of the vehicle, can NOT be Calibrated by ANY Manufacturer.  Do NOT purchase one of our items to calibrate this type of system.  No Refunds will be offered.

Again – We SINCERELY apologize to our ethical customers for this action.  We held out as long as we could.  We hope that the trust we have earned in the industry to date will still make our product your first choice for this difficult task.
